Health and Wellness: Pick the Perfect Protein Powder

By Thom Seehafer

Looking for a GOOD Protein Powder? Here are some suggestions

There are many types of protein powders out there, from raw, to vegan, to gluten free to organic, but which one is for you? But with purer products and quality, you will pay more than just buying generic.

In addition to looking at the amount of protein per serving, you need to keep an eye on sugar content and added flavorings, and while yu are at it, check the label for other ingredients such as vitamins, mineral and fiber—these are items you may or may not want to consume.

Here are a couple brands that you may want to consider:


Sunwarrior – Raw Vegan Protein which has 85% protein, the highest raw whole grain sprouted vegan protein on the market

Garden of Life – RAW Protein – this is complete protein derived from raw sprouted greens, brown rice, quinoa sprout, & garbanzo sprouts. Has a great deal of raw vitamins, and its sugar free and low cal.

Natural Factors Vegan Protein Factors – A blend of nutrient dense vegan proteins (hemp, pea, rice and chia). It has 180 cal per serving and 22 grams of protein per serving

Olympian Labs Greens Protein 8 in 1 – This is a mix, not only of pea, rice and hemp, but also multivitamins, pH balance enzymes, probiotics, and a WHOLE bunch more good things for ya.

PROTIP: Shop around online and see what you can find if you really want to get more bang for your buck!
